JEAN CRUVEILHIER (1791-1874) Essai sur l'anatomie pathologique en général. Chez l'Auteur; Chez Crochard 1816 Vol. I: xxviii, 400 pp.; Vol. II: [4] 461 pp. 20.2 cm.

Cruveilhier received his medical degree from Paris in 1816 and entered private practice at Limoges, his family residence. Through the influence of Dupuytren (see No. 1323 ff.), he was appointed professor of surgery at Montpellier in 1823. Only two years later he returned to Paris as professor of descriptive anatomy and in 1836 he accepted a professorship in pathological anatomy established by an endowment left by Dupuytren. In this very early work on pathology, which Cruveilhier prepared as the dissertation for his medical degree, he presents a very comprehensive discussion of all aspects of pathological anatomy.
